A Santa Rosa man suspected of shoplifting died Sunday after being arrested by Rohnert Park Police.
Sonoma County Sheriff’s officials investigated the death and said Monday that Guy James Fernandez, 42-years-old, was combative and resisted arrest when officers contacted him in the parking lot of Linens-N-Things in Rohnert Park at 8:12 p.m.
Officers unsuccesfully attempted to use a Taser on Fernandez but were able to restrain him, handcuff him and put leg restraints on him, officials said.
Fernandez appeared to have difficulty breathing and was unresponsive while restrained, officials said.
He died while en route to Memorial Hospital. An autopsy and toxicology is pending, officials said.
The Sheriff’s Department will continue to investigate the death as part of the county’s protocol when someone dies in custody.
